HI, my mother of thyme is growing beautufully but I was wondering, if I do not remove the flowers, will it turn to seed? I use thyme in my cooking but the flowers are so pretty I would love to keep them. I also read they are safe to eat. Im thinking the flowers are used more in tea. I was a little dissapointed cause I thought I bought french thyme which is more common for cooking but happy when I saw how pretty it was and how good it smelked and that its fine and safe to eat even the flowers, which I probably prefer as a tea, although Im usually a black tea with milk or cream and sweetened type of girl. Though herbal teas are appreciated when Im sick. Its wonderful oroma is similar to oregono.
